Merchant account eligibility

You can read the articles in this section to learn about your eligibility for a merchant account to accept card payments.

A merchant account is a regulated financial account issued by an authorised member of Visa and MasterCard (the “card schemes”). The card scheme members are called merchant account providers, as well as "acquiring banks" or "acquirers".
